Yup Slimy,you are right on!I went to look at my new specimen and it was gone?!I searched the floor area to see if it were close by but I only found this.
I am unsure what may have caused it or maybe the critter succumbed to a bad case of velvet or the like.Any ideas?

many types of filters can be used of course,and this should probably be transferred over to the tech forum but Ill digress a bit further.This is the type I use,now I dont want to hear it from the hi flow vs low flow boys about my choices so just bite your tounge OK.

I'm sorry, but I think it's time to intervene in this nonsense. You all have it wrong. WRONG, I say.

This particular fish is obviously a domestic kittykaticus. They are adaptable to a wide range of conditions, but, unlike other fish, they do not like water. Temperature can vary widely, but uniquely to this particular species, the exact temperature of a human lap seems to be most welcome.

They are not typically highly active specimens and can be found laying about their habitat at all hours of the day. They require at least twice weekly litter changes.

I know all of this because I have 6 of them in a 3,000 square foot house...I mean, tank.

that is very good info GM it explains alot,I thought for a moment while trying to acclimitize him to the tank that I had purchased a talking catfish of some sort Maybe you should submit an article about this specimen to William
